I think most would agree that the 01-15 buck facing the cam has an outside spread which is wider than eartip-to-eartip?
Based on this pic, I guess his outside spread to be about 16 to 16 1/2 inches?
Now here's what's baffling me.
During the hunting season, I had repeatedly seen (up close) and passed shots on what appeared to be the side-view buck on the 01-16 pic. Each time his outside spread appeared narrower than ear-tip-to-ear-tip, with my guess at about 14 to 14 1/2 inches. And that pic was taken right where I had seen him several times.
The "facing the cam" buck from 01-15 was taken the night before but a few hundred yards away. And he appears to have slightly more mass than the little 8-pointer I had been repeatedly seeing, not to mention, I had never noticed a shorter G-1 on the right main beam.

Thanks for all the opinions everyone.
I, too, thought it appeared to be the same buck based on the pics.
BSK,
What would guess the age to be on the above buck?
In retrospect, I think the side-view buck above is simply not the nearly twin one I had been seeing there while hunting. I had been afraid to run cameras in some of my hunting spots during the season, thinking they might spook a floater buck --- most likely as he was approaching my stand and I was about to kill him.

Both look like the same deer to me Wes. Even though his rack is not huge and his belly looks like it runs upward in the first pic; he is stretched out. I think he looks 4.5 the way his neck runs into the brisket, especially for Jan. The third pic has the same effect; the neck runs straight into the chest (no brisket), hence an older deer from what I've learned. Plus, he has the same mass compared to the eye and tine length compared to the ears.
